Houston is home to seven cultural districts, the most in the state: Arts District Houston, Midtown Houston Cultural Arts and Entertainment District, 5th Ward Cultural Arts District, East End Houston Cultural District, Third Ward Cultural Arts District, Museum District, and Theater District.
The areas, designated by Texas Commission on the Arts, “harness the power of cultural resources to stimulate economic development and community vitality.” Collectively, the districts showcase a rich variety of arts experiences and honor the important histories and culture rooted in Houston.
